Posted this in general automotive a few days ago, no responses so I thought I try in this year specific area of the forum, any suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm trying to work on my sisters 96 pathfinder, she left it pretty much unused this winter and mice ate up the spark plug wires.

I'm having a real challenge getting some of the wires off, specifically number 6 and number 5. They just wont come off! I've tried, leveraging while having a good hold with pliers...etc..and I mean putting a lot of muscle into it. The boots will turn, but they will not release.

Am I missing something, a trick or tip? Anyone ever run into this, and what did you do to solve. I sure don't want to have to go to the trouble of removing the manifold on this puppy.

I've even thought about trying to snap the spark plugs and then replacing them, but I'm not sure I want to go that route.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm just trying to help her out.

Thanks
